Virtual Worlds
, 2015
"... Online environments, particularly virtual worlds, can sometimes complicate issues of self expression. For example, the faculty member who loves punk rock has an opportunity, through hairstyle and attire choices in the virtual world, to share that part of herself with students. However, deciding to s ..."

Improv: A System for Scripting Interactive Actors in Virtual Worlds
, 1996
"... Improv is a system for the creation of real-time behavior-based animated actors. There have been several recent efforts to build network distributed autonomous agents. But in general these efforts do not focus on the author's view. To create rich interactive worlds inhabited by believable anima ..."

Bridging Physical and Virtual Worlds with Electronic Tags
, 1999
"... The role of computers in the modern office has tended to split our activities between virtual interactions in the realm of the computer and physical interactions with real objects that have been part of the traditional office infrastructure. This paper discusses a variety of scenarios we have implem ..."

A Poetics of Virtual Worlds
"... This paper presents a possible poetics of virtual worlds, part of which is the study of those “textual ” aspects of a virtual world that define it as a virtual world. It introduces the concept of “worldness ” as a measurement of the particular traits that constitute the experience of a virtual world ..."

VIRTUAL MACHINES FOR VIRTUAL WORLDS
"... Multi User Virtual Worlds provide a simulated immersive 3D environment that is similar to the real world. Popular examples include Second Life and OpenSim. The multi-user nature of these simulations means that there are significant computational demands on the processes that render the different ava ..."
